Randomly clicking the first link on Google about this yields:
"Un porte-parole d'Air France à Paris joint par l'AFP a précisé que "Techniquement , c'est ce qu'on appelle un pompage réacteur. C'est une avarie moteur qui est connue" '...) "Ca peut être lié à l'ingestion d'un oiseau par un réacteur au décollage"."
Which loosely translates as "it was an engine surge" and "could have been to do with ingestion of a bird".
Would appear to be a non-event and not news worthy.
